Making(programming) virtual drives on windows XP

Question

Ahoy,

I'd like to mount a "virtual drive" myself on Windows XP, I guess using the windows API.

What I thought about would be like a server interface, meaning explorer.exe would send "queries", like, list directory, or get file through a pipe or whatever...

I know some programs do it, maybe not the way I think it is done, but what the heck,

if you know anything, enlighten me please!

Answer 1

You can add custom nodes to Explorer by writing a Shell namespace extension.

Note that it will only show up in explorer; it would not be usable from other applications or file APIs like an ordinary disk.
